The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife

“Congratulations on getting the publicity role for South River Project No. 2, Manager Xi! I’m looking forward to seeing how you perform. In fact, I hope that we can work together in time to come!” Gu Lingsha secretly observed Xi Xinyi for a long while before she generously put out her hand and smiled at her.

Xi Xinyi looked at Gu Lingsha’s hand before her and did not say much. She only softly responded, “Thank you. This is all thanks to Master Qi and CEO Qi’s trust. I’ll do my best to get the job done well.”

Her tone was very humble at the moment. She even faced Gu Lingsha gently and bowed slightly. “Earlier at the meeting, Xinyi would like to thank you for Manager Gu’s support.”

Then, Xi Xinyi gently reached her hand out to shake Gu Lingsha’s. It was only a gentle shake before she very quickly let go.

Xi Xinyi’s action surprised Gu Lingsha. Naturally, she remembered that Xi Xinyi did try to get close to her quite a few times before, but she did not respond much. Later on, she did not bother her anymore. In fact, she knew about Xi Xinyi’s grudge with Xi Xiaye very well!

“No need to be so courteous, Manager Xi,” Gu Lingsha responded and smiled calmly, yet the light in her eyes was judgmental as she silently sized Xi Xinyi up.

“I’m done eating. Manager Gu, please take your time!’ Xi Xinyi smiled calmly at Gu Lingsha, and before Gu Lingsha could react, she had already left her seat.

Gu Lingsha was a little shocked as she watched Xi Xinyi’s back vanish at the entrance of the cafeteria. Then, she turned and watched another employee while thinking about it. She then asked, “Does Manager Xi frequently come to have her meals at this cafeteria?”

Gu Lingsha rarely had her meals at the company cafeteria. Today, because of the meeting, she was late, so she decided to go there for a quick meal.

The employee nodded. “Yes, Manager Gu, every time she comes over for a meeting, Manager Xi has her meals here, but she just doesn’t talk much to other people.”

Gu Lingsha seemed to be interested as she smiled and asked, “Why not? Is she very antisocial? I heard that she was a very popular rising star before.”

“Sigh, Manager Gu, that’s a thing of the past. Who told her to offend those who shouldn’t be offended? If it were not for being a subsidiary of Qi Kai, Yueying might not even exist anymore.”

…

The hot and stuffy weather finally eased and became a little cooler after a few days of stormy rains. Especially at night, it was much cooler than the day, thus people preferred to go out at this time to stroll.

It was long past the end of working hours at the moment, and the sky had turned dark too.

In the office of Xi Xiaye, the Chief Director-General of Fuhua Real Estate, Xiao Mei had just packed up the things and was preparing to leave work. Unexpectedly, just as she walked out of her office, she saw Mu Yuchen walking towards her in huge strides.

“Chairman Mu!” Xiao Mei greeted respectfully.

Mu Yuchen nodded gently and his calm voice was heard. “Where’s Director Xi?”

“Director Xi’s still in the office. It’s been a few days of handover. Work’s been a little busy. The Elder CEO already stopped coming to work as of today, so all the company documents were sent to Director Xi. She can barely handle it all.”

As Xiao Mei said this, she could not help but turn to look at the tightly shut office door with her heart aching. She had been by Director Xi’s side for so long and this was the first time she had seen her this busy.

“Okay, I got it. You can go home first,” Mu Yuchen calmly replied, then continued walking ahead.

He obviously knew that she had been very busy these past few days. Every night, she only reached home past 10 p.m., so today he went to pick her up. Coincidentally, he called her this afternoon to tell her that he was picking her up.

He had just pushed open the door when he quickly noticed the slender figure at the desk. However, she was already asleep on the table at the moment with a table of documents strewn everywhere. A few pieces of paper had fallen to the ground too.

Mu Yuchen sighed helplessly. After that, he walked over lightly and bent down to quietly pick up the documents that had fallen all over the floor. At the same time, he arranged them and browsed through them. Then, he took a look at the data on her laptop on the table. Thinking about it, he finally looked at her sleeping soundly. He did not have the heart to wake her up, so he took off his coat and put it over her shoulders before pulling the chair beside her and moving her documents and laptop closer to him.

Night fell. Just as Mu Yuchen was focused on working, he vaguely felt as if someone was moving beside him, so he subconsciously stopped typing on the keyboard and looked askance. Indeed, the woman was propping her head up with one hand and silently watching him with blurry eyes.

“I just have one more set of data left. You can sleep for a little while more.”

A hint of tenderness flashed across his handsome face. His hand reached out and combed through her slightly messy long hair as he helped her fix her hair before his gaze returned to the laptop before him.

However, Xi Xiaye could not fall back asleep. She reached out to take the document in his hand and flipped through it. She sighed to say, “Now, I understand the difficulties Grandpa goes through.”

“Mmm, everyone’s got their own sets of difficulties. Hungry?” he calmly responded.

Well, it was fine before he mentioned it, but now Xi Xiaye did feel quite hungry. She touched her belly subconsciously as she looked at Mu Yuchen askance.

“Later, we’ll just eat out before going home. I already told Grandmother and the rest that we’ll only be back very late tonight,” he said considerately.

“I’ll treat you then. Consider it a reward.” He smiled happily before adding, “It’s my utmost honor.”

After that, he continued to work again, and when he was done, the couple left the office. By the time they walked out of the Fuhua building, it was already close to 8 p.m.

Along the way, Xiaye drove and Mu Yuchen sat in the front passenger seat. Soothing music was echoing out of the player in the car while the car windows were open. He leaned against the car seat contentedly, admiring the scenery outside the window.

She skillfully drove out of the carpark as she asked softly, “What do you want to eat?”

He smiled at her before answering calmly, “I’ve decided to obey Missus’ wishes.”

“Obey my wishes, hmm? Let’s go for French cuisine then. I heard that there’s a newly opened French restaurant that’s pretty good. Let’s go try it today. When we’re done, I have a present for you too,” she said as she looked at him mysteriously.

“What present?” He immediately became interested and stared at her with narrowed eyes.
